They are a bit louder when I'm accelerating quickly or the load is higher (driving up a hill or something). |
Experiment with "M Mode" and default mode (non M Mode) and you'll notice that there is definitely a difference in sound. Default mode sounds better, especially in first gear.
The typical Akra sound seems to sing more obviously in default mode, during soft but steady acceleration, especially when the engine is still cold. Try with a cold engine in "Red Mode": accelerate slow and smooth towards 3000rpm and then accelerate progressively between 3000rpm and 4500 rpm to trigger the hallmark Akra rasp to kick in. To me that sounds a little better with the M button de-activated.
As we know, M Mode is a remap, a more sensitive setting (see page 14 of this document:
